4.0

A cute, believable* high school gay romance retelling of Grease w/out the weird sexist ending.

I also like it when they allow bi characters to end up w the opposite sex sometimes. Am seeing it more and more often now so hopefully it won't be a big deal soon.

The side plot about Aunt Linda kinda fucked me up ngl. *believeable in terms of how they acted, not how homophobic north carolina is

a great read! i didn't even realize/remember it was a grease retelling! my favourite parts were the accepting moments between the two mains and their friends. all the characters in this book basically went through a maturation when they realized that reciprocating kindness and understanding will get them further than sheer snark and judginess. my most disappointing part was the teen speak, sigh, i just don't think teens (or anyone) have that much internal commentary going on. i know my brain was certainly empty most of the time. my most cried part was the discussions of grief - it always gets me grr.

an amazing story filled with banter, humor, and pining but an even more amazing cast of friends. it’s lighthearted and fun but with a pinch of heartbreak, the perfect recipe for a 5 star book

4.0

A coming of age/teen story about two boys with feelings for each other figuring out the world and their place and feelings in it.

This was cute. It dealt with "the usual" teenage feelings and drama, plus an added element of the main character's aunt being terminally ill with cancer. 
The audiobook was nice, even if it annoyed when they vocalized "argh" and "ugh" in a very weird way. That's just me tho.
